Article Abstract
What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Tuberculosis (TB) is a multisystem disease that might affect any organ. Currently, the National TB Program (NTP) issued by the State Council of China, only covers pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and the status of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) remains unclear nationwide.
What Is Added By This Report?: The survey conducted by China CDC reported that there were no specific health facilities responsible for diagnosis, treatment and management of EPTB in China, while more than half of counties thought it should be included into NTP.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: China should include EPTB into NTP to achieve the target of End-TB strategy, a world free of TB. Zero deaths, disease and suffering due to TB.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a multisystem infectious disease with both pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. TB can also induce a hypercoagulable state, setting off a cascade of changes in the body, including systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and abnormalities in the coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways. Collectively, these factors significantly increase the risk of venous thromboembolism, such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

A 27-year-old man from Ethiopia had undergone an extraction of a molar in Libya ten months earlier, after which a submental swelling developed. For that reason, an oral and maxillofacial surgery department was consulted. Clinical examination showed a tender, firm-to-the-touch, non-mobile swelling with central ulceration.

Background: Mycobacterium simiae is a slow-growing environmental nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), commonly isolated from soil and water. M. simiae is not known to transmit zoonotically or via human-to-human contact; infection is presumed to occur through direct environmental exposure.

Rationale: We report an extremely rare case in which delayed diagnosis and treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection primarily involving the subcutaneous tissues of an extremity led to hematogenous dissemination of the infection and subsequent deterioration of the patient.
Patient Concerns: An 82-year-old man presented to our hospital with a painful mass on the right ankle for over a year, as well as persistent fever and shortness of breath for >14 days. He received piperacillin/tazobactam followed by meropenem, which failed to decrease his peak temperature.
